Friday Fundamental - Envisioning Your Future

Our mind has a unique and uncanny ability to turn out dreams into realities. If you think of it, your life today is the product of years of thoughts and ideas. At one point in your life, you made a decision that led to another and then another and has led you to where you are now. We could chalk that up to \\u201cthat\\u2019s just how life works\\u201d and move on, but there is a lesson to be had out of that simple realization. We have the ability to envision a future and then through our actions, create that future. That, in itself, is a powerful realization. Anything you can dream, you can do. Why would you settle for anything less than an extraordinary future? If you knew that you would not fail, then what would you strive for? Take a second and think about it. What would your life look like? How would you spend your time? Where would you live? Would you travel to new places? Will you live close to your family?

There. You have just imagined your future. Whatever thoughts just flashed into your mind are entirely possible. That life you just imagined can be your reality, and likely will be.

I\\u2019ll outline a 4 step approach that will take you from figuring out your dreams to turning them into a reality.

1. Thinking
2. Visualizing
3. Setting Goals
4. Taking Intentional Action

Let\\u2019s look at each of these in a bit more detail.

1.      Thinking \\u2013 thinking may seem like the most underrated approach to building a life you want. Thinking, though, is where it all starts. Now you\\u2019re probably thinking something like \\u2018really, Jacob? You\\u2019re telling me to think? What do you think I\\u2019ve been doing all day since the second I woke up this morning?!\\u201d. I get it. But I\\u2019m talking about a specific type of thinking. The type of thinking I\\u2019m referring to here is more of a reflective and introspective approach. It\\u2019s not thinking about the hustle and bustle of your day today \\u2013 heading to work, juggling your personal life, running errands, taking care of a family, and so on. You have to do those things no matter what. Setting some time every day or every week to just sit and think will help you start to understand what you really want in life. You can reflect on things in your life, dream of your future, and understand better what you want in your own life. I understand this may sound a bit hokey, and I agree. But what I do know is when I block a few minutes to sit and think, it helps me determine a clear path forward in my own life. If you\\u2019re like me, you have a busy mind always looking for the next thing, constantly moving forward. I\\u2019ve found that using resources like guided meditation apps and reading personal development books give me something to think about and ways to structure my thoughts.

2.      Visualization \\u2013 This is where it gets hokey if I\\u2019m being completely honest, but I\\u2019ve found myself in times of success when I\\u2019ve visualized my outcomes. This doesn\\u2019t mean print a picture of a Ferrari, hang it on your mirror and it will magically appear in your driveway next week. Rather, to me what I'
